Ever wanted to build your own city? Think you can design street intersections better than those artsy-fartsy "modern designers"?

Try your hand at Cities: Skylines, then. With challenging scenarios to test your mettle, and the ability to create your perfect city exactly how you envision it, this game has something for everyone.

Pros:
- City-building on a massive scale
- Steady progression and rewards
- Easy-to-learn, hard-to-master gameplay
- Relaxing gameplay
- Ability to rename EVERYTHING: Streets, businesses, households.
- Vast library of DLC both Dev-made and Player-made
- Very dedicated and helpful community on Steam, Youtube, and even Twitch
- Unlimited options for building allow you to have fun YOUR way: Level the city with meteor strikes, build a mecca of commercialization and industry, or build the ultimate utopia with a massive skyline

Cons:
- Vast library of DLC costs money... sometimes not that good
- Some game features are not available in base game until you get DLC
- Game can become a slog if you're not sure what to do
- Traffic AI is mildly annoying, but easy to manage once learned
- Achievements can be difficult to earn if that's your thing

Overall, Cities: Skylines gets a solid 8/10 for me. After designing several cities (on PC and on Nintendo Switch), this game manages to keep me coming back for more when I need something to relax with.
